Excellent Professor! Obviously loves what he teaches, and loves to teach! Easy class if you show up and take notes. He was very helpful and responded to emails quickly! Would definetly take his classes again! ( Made an A!)
Great teacher, I will recommend him, test essay kind question, but as long as you go to class and take notes or just pay attention if you have a good memory you'll do fine. by the way I think his name is /Philip
Great teacher so far! He is genuinely interested in his field and loves to talk about it! The tests are great, and as long as you demonstrate a general sense of knowledge about what you learned, you will get a good grade...and he's kinda cute :p
Wonderful Teacher!!! Wish I could take the class again. Very easy to understand. Would Defiantly recommend him to anyone. He hates teaching the wars though.
THe material is tough but he is a good teacher. He lectures a lot and taking notes isnt really necessary. He gives you what will be on the test and his powerpoints are online so you can get the answers from there or the book. For papers he is a pushover. He will give you an extra day if you ask.
Very easy professor. If you study the exact notes he gives in class, you will make A's on all the test. Class consists of 2 papers, and 3 test. Very helpful with essays.
Great teacher! test are identification kind of like essay. Come to class for participation grades and take notes and you'll make an easy A!! He's very easy to talk down and work with what the students think is appropriate as far as 3 test and 2 essays he assigns!! Overall great experience and I don't like History at all!! Would recommend him to all
Dr.Guerty is a very good teacher. He explains the material very well and is extremely helpful. You will have 3 tests & 2 essays (if you ask he'll give you an extra day). He gives you all the terms you'll need that will be on the test. This class was great. If you show up to class and do all the work, it's an easy A!
GREAT. RECOMMENDED TO ANYONE WHETHER YOU LIKE HISTORY OR NOT.
he is extremly nice and very open minded. Very nice guy
AMAZING!!! Super easy if you take notes and study. Lectures everyday unless we're watching a movie. 2 Exams and 2 Papers. Take him, you'll be glad you did. He's extremely helpful and is a joy to listen to.
i had him for world history and he is a very good teacher! he has a bunch of notes but they are not overwhelming at all. very very nice man and will help you as much as you need! very understanding. GREAT teacher overall. i would def recommend him! kind of a nerd haha
This guy is awesome! it's pretty much all lecture and notes, but he makes it interesting. Plus he looks like clark kent(superman). i had an A in the class all semester until i didnt do the final essay. even then he let me know i hadnt turned it in and gave me a second chance, though i still never did it, he did his best.
Attend class and take notes....if u can do tht u'll make an A. He also gives the terms that u need to know before the test. He will help u no matter how many times u go to him. His tests are super easy. All u gotta do is identify the terms and write a paragraph about it...:) I would totally recommmend his class !!!!!
Great teacher! He's extremely helpful and nice towards his students. Loves to teach history. He gives you the terms that are going to be on the test (like a studyguide). Just show up to class, take notes and study the terms and it's an easy A. Also, he's a pushover when it comes to papers. Just ask and he'll say yes :)
He is the best! My favorite prof. so far! You do not need to buy the text book for his class, he has everything important to read accessible online. He tells you exactly what to study for the test, which makes it easy.
He's awesome. Every history teacher should be like this. I recommend his class highly. he doesn't really give you homework and he only gives 2 tests that are easy if you go to class and do the study guide that he give you. He does give a few papers but nothing terrible. i would definitely take his class again. take him over any other professor.
Easy. Nice nice nice guy! We watch LOTS of movies. Lecture is boring. but an easy A
Fantastic teacher who tries to pass his enthusiasm for history onto his students. He makes his points clear, and despite the occasional tangents makes his class enjoyable and fun. His style of testing takes getting used to but if you show up & study he's fantastic. Also, warning girls: Distractingly cute! First impression was Milo from Atlantis!
I am a history major, and i really liked his class, minus the 8AM aspect of it. Gives notes like twice a week and usually watches movies one a week. hes really nice& understanding. there's a lot of reading primary sources but you talk about them as a class. he practically gives you the answers to the midterm and final. take him if you like history.
Dr. Guerty is fantastic! Lectures are interesting, lots of class discussions. Shows lots of movies. No homework to speak of, just 2 assignments due by end of semester. He's very chill, and willing to help. He lets the class vote on what terms to throw out for exams IF YOU ASK HIM. Lots of group work for primary sources.Does NOT use txtbk.Fun class!
He's a nice guy, very lenient and understanding. Definitely recommend him, even if you don't like history, because you don't really have to listen. Just pay attention when he reviews for the test.
Nice man. He really enjoys the subject that he teaches. Not many grades in the calss so you need to make sure that you are on top of the assignments for his class.
He is a great teacher. His classes are all lecture or movies. He is very willing to work with students and takes their opinions into consideration. Very friendly, nice guy.
Great teacher and is willing to work with you if there are any issues. Only four grades, but the class is a breeze. Just some reading other than that excellent class.
Hands down one of the best teachers I have ever had.....he is brillant which makes him super HOT. Always willing to help if you need it. I learned so much, and the movies are very interresting. You will love this class!
He seems like a really nice guy and an okay teacher. He somehow has the patience to repeat EVERYTHING, don't know how he does it. He answers the same thing over and over. He gives work that he doesn't grade but then only gives you like 3 grades.
He doesn't use the textbook, so don't buy it! His class is fairly boring but overall pretty easy. The essay is 4 long pages and I had no idea what i was talking about and still managed an A. he's way nice and very understanding! you lucked out with the professor.
Great teacher! The class was pretty boring, but he is an easy grader and helps you if you need it. As long as you come to class most of the time missing a few classes won't hurt you. He only gives you 4 grades in all. Two four page papers (double spaced), a midterm, and a final exam. Overall a good class to take!
He is a good teacher and kept my interest. I learned a lot. He is very helpful and explains everything. I would recommend him to anyone!
Great teacher! Explains the subject ver well. He will not continue onto a new subject without answering all the students questions. He cares and is GREAT! Def take him! :)
GREAT teacher! He is very knowledgeable and has a passion for the subject which shows in the level of information he gives. He made the class interesting and fun. He's also very personable and really tries to help his students when they struggle. Take his class, he's the best!
Very smart and very clear about what he wants on the test. I found it very interesting and I have never liked History!
Dr. Guerty was one of my favorite professors! He was so informative and made the subject interesting, even though I'm a history major. All you need to do is show up and take good notes, because there are only three tests (including the final.) All in all he was awesome!
Professor Guerty is one of my favorite teachers I've had. His classes are interesting and he is extremely helpful. He wants his students to learn and succeed.
This is a very great professor that really exceeds in his knowledge of history. His lectures are very interesting and exciting. I always looked forward to going to class. He is perhaps too nice of a person! :D
Dr. Guerty has been my favorite teacher. He is a really nice guy. He makes the subject extremely easy to understand. He is also very knowledgeable and wants you to succeed. Does everything in his power to get you an A. Take any class he offers.
WOW, talk about about knowledge. He has some of the best lectures and will openly engage his class in conversations about history. He is passionate about history and it shows in his work. Doesn't use the book but great power points and lectures. Take great notes because his test are straight from his lectures.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! He is really big on lecturing but he lectures on things that are actually interesting and stick with you. I wasn't the perfect student and didn't take notes and I still did really well! As long as you listen you remember the stuff he tells you. His tests are very straight forward as long as you go to the reviews. TAKE HIM!!!!!!!
Prof. Guerty is now my new favorite teacher. His lectures are so interesting they will make you want to change majors if you are not a history major. He will help all he can, he wants you to do good. Love him! Would take him again. Although there is a lot of information to know for the tests, his reviews are thorough Just do your part.Great Teacher
He is an amazing professor. I loved taking his class and I would definitely take him again. He makes the class really interesting and it was a pretty easy class.
Wonderful teacher! He really does have a way of teaching so that the material sticks with you. He gives great rews before tests. Super sweet guy. Love him and would take him again.
This guy is brilliant, friendly, and extremely helpful. I took him in Summer Term and managed to stay awake and interested through 3-hour lectures twice a week. I would definitely take him again.
A very brilliant professor. If you want a direct class, his is it.
Very smart teacher, knows every thing about his subject. take him if you like lectures based classes. you need to know how to takes notes though
very reasonable and knows his subject well! take notes- tests are all lecture. he reviews well and is super friendly. love his class.
This is the BEST history professor at this college! If I had the chance to have him again I would.. HANDS DOWN!
I had him for World Civ. Great professor. He lets the class choose what type of test they want. He lectures a lot, so pay attention. I wouldn't recommend skipping class because he covers a lot of material in one class. Easy A, I would take him again if I could.
Amazing teacher. He is super dedicated to his work and passionate. All of that shows through his lectures. Follow his outlined notes and add to them from the lecture and you'll do great! Text book is not needed either. He gives you three tests, random classroom assignments, and a portfolio. I recommend him to everyone.
Real Kool Professor. Enuff said.
Guerty is such a nice guy. He is amazing at lecturing and teaches about real interesting things. He's not hard at all either. It's a pretty easy class but you learn so much! He's probably the nicest and most patient teacher I've had.
Professor Guerty is fun, down to earth, reasonable, and overall just a good human. He understands that it's not the most fun, lightens it up when he can, and has a generally laid back demeanor. I think he might have had one bad day the whole semester and that was hardly bad. Just take notes and read the primary sources! Really! That's it!
He was a great teacher. The book was never used. Test questions were simple to answer.
Awesome teacher!! Knows his stuff and makes learning the material easy and interesting. No book needed because he gives you the materials to use. Highly recommended.
Professor Guerty is a true Historian. He is very intelligent and manages to explain himself in an understandable manner. He shows some videos and movies, but most classes involve writing notes except he gives online notes guide so it's not as bad. He has a monotone voice, but is very nice and will repeat himself if students ask. Tests are fair
Very interesting class, covers alot of ground.
I've had Dr. Guerty about 5 times and he is hands down the best history professor ever! He is very helpful, and his lectures are clear. Everything he gives you will be on the test, its not useless info. I learned so much in his class, he's managed to make wall paper interesting! He's also very nice and knowledgeable. So glad I'm a history major.
Go to class and show that you want to learn. You'll get an A.
This class was great. The lectures were straight forward and very interesting. He is very nice and funny. You can tell he loves what he is teaching.
While he was a very understanding and nice teacher, this class was so boring. I would avoid taking him for an 8a class, it's a snoozer. Lectures were very clear, but boring.
Only had two tests and the final, all of which are very easy as long as you have been coming to class and listening. His lectures are very clear, but can get kind of dry and boring at times.
For a History major, I find his lectures to be really interesting. He has clear knowledge on many things, but also admits when he does not. I was nervous about taking this class at 8 am, but honestly with my love of history I am very happy I signed up for his course. He does not require the book, and he gives terms before test.
There was not homework, but there are reading that needs to be done for the next class day. He gives you a week or less to read them. His tests are given a study guide, which if you study you'll do more than fine! Overall, fun class!
In History Department, Ric Kabat is #1, Phillip Guerty is a close #2. Overall, he is a great professor. He likes to assign a lot of readings for weekly group work. Tests can be a little tricky. You have to study to pass. He is flexible with attendance, but don't blow class off without reason, as some lecture material is on test. Pretty cool guy!
Absolutely the best professor or instructor I have ever had, He is a very enjoyable and nice. Dr. Guerty was very understanding and seemed like he truly wanted you to learn and get the best grade you could. Note-taking was very easy with the way he lectured and repeated himself so you could have time to write down . TAKE HIS CLASS !
This is my second class with him. I highly recommend taking his classes. This is one of the only classes he teaches that requires a book. Regardless of a textbook, he has many articles he provides for you to read and discuss. They will be topics on the test. His tests are pretty straight forward and have a study guide. He's one of my favorites.
Great class and awesome professor!! Interesting lectures and manageable reading assignments. Tests are easy if you show up and take good notes.
A great History Professor. The lectures were very interesting. Tests are extremely easy just make sure you take good notes and attend class everyday. There is some writing that is involved but it is very simple stuff.
Great teacher. Smart, engaging, funny, and a very understanding teacher.
GUERTY P. He's a fun professor. He loves his subject and makes his lectures interesting. Pros: very little homework, and some decent ways to a few easy grades. Cons: tests are a large %. But he does a lot of review and was a great prof.
Amazing teacher would advise him to anyone!
He is truly great!! Im taking him for two classes this semester and he is amazing. If you need extra help he is always more than happy to help. He takes his time explaining and is very patient.
He's is AMAZING!
Professor Guerty is great! His class is very organized and everything is stated clearly in the syllabus. His class is mostly made up of lectures, but they were interesting. He did a review day before every test which was very helpful. His tests come straight from his lectures and information he goes over in class, so no surprises there.
Very few grades and never post them. Doesn't use banner or dl2, everything is on TopHat
Very good teacher that is passionate about history and cares about his students. Very nice teacher, workload was okay. Tests were easy if you study cause all the material comes from lectures. He has review sessions before tests and is always there to answer questions. Recommend!!
One of the best professors I've had. Stops frequently in the lecture to make sure everyone understands. Is always available outside of class if you need help. Gives a clear study guide for tests. Will definitely take again.
Great professor! Lectures were super interesting and this guy knows his stuff. Only issue was tests which were very difficult. Questions can be very tricky and you have to read them closely. But other then that one of my favorite professors at UNG. If you get the chance take him. Just make sure to pay attention to lectures and take notes!
Doesn't post grades nor does he give you a ton of feedback. His lectures are interesting and he's very knowledgeable about history. Great professor and understands how to be student centered. Gives you ample time to do major assignments and cancels class occasionally. Pay attention and try to attend every class bc he doesn't post notes. Easy class
I did this class as part of the Dual Enrollment program. Guerty was a very good professor, even for a history class at 8 am. He told us exactly what was going to be on the test, and if you had any problems or questions, we was always willing to answer them. Plus he made history interesting.
Guerty is the best history professor at UNG Gainesville, especially for upper level classes. He gives you the study guide and is super clear about what will be on the tests. Highly recommend
Lots of lectures but very interesting. Start your portfolio early it takes forvever
One of the chillest professors I've taken at UNG. His lectures are amazing, especially for someone who isn't really keen on history. He makes things simple and gives study guides at the beginning of the semester. Doesn't use d2L. Be sure to finish your history portfolio ASAP! I finished mine weeks early and was not stressed by end of semester. Easy
Very straight forward, but there were some issues. HE MAKES YOU MEMORIZE THE SLIDES. He reviews before the test and gives you extra credit on tests and curves grades. I cannot express this enough to start your portfolio early because they take forever. Only 4 papers, so not too bad. I recommend but beware of studying for tests, especially summer.
I am the type of student that DOES NOT rate instructors! So when I do either something REALLY GOOD happened or something REALLY BAD happened! Well guess what?! Mr. Guerty is an awesome, caring, understandable instructor who truly does care and I wish every instructor is caring and understanding like him! Mr. Guerty will assist you if you ask!
BEST HISTORY TEACHER EVER. Most assignments are participation, readings/movies are interesting, lectures are interesting, Prof. Guerty is extremely interesting and so kind. Tests are very straightforward, just know your material. Great class.
He gave study guides for the tests and was clear about what was required. He also had review sessions. I recommend taking him. However, you will have homework sometimes and need to study for the tests.
Had Dr. Guerty online this year and this professor is the kindest man ever. So flexible when it came to missing assignments or tests, can always make them up. Lectures are honestly really interesting & so are the assignments (especially discussions). Easy to contact and just genuinely the best kind of teacher. Take his class!! Do the portfolio!!
We only went to class to take tests. He was a very caring professor and his lectures could be boring but the information is interesting. I loved the discussions in class because it gives feedback as you write. There was a lecture and questions every week, discussion, and history portfolio. This class is pretty hard to fail.
This class is hard to fail. Mr. Guerty really cares for his students. He is flexible with test dates if you have something going on or just can't make it. Not too much of a work load. On the first day he explains everything you need to know and everything is very simple on what you will be doing every week. I would definitely recomend his class.
Took the online summer course and had no issues passing, very straight forward.
Prof. Guerty was one of my favorite professors this semester. He gave weekly assignments on tophat and packback and 3 tests but it was nothing to be overwhelmed over so long as you were on top of your work. He is super understanding and nice and allows the class to decided on what type of tests they wanted to take.
Professor Guerty has assignments that certainly make you think, but he also is very understanding of things that can cause problems. I, for example, work a full-time job while in school. He always worked with me. Also, his class discussions are fantastic.
Professor Guerty is my favorite professor of all time. The class is actually super interesting and Guerty is just a such a cool guy that is makes for an amazing class. Exams are not difficult at all. If you have the opportunity to take Professor Guerty, you need to be in his class.
Prof is amazing, before each test he gives out a study guide video and explain what to know on the test. You do the assignments in tophat and ask a question in packback. You have a history portfolio and it is about the readings, podcasts, and movies he assigns you. You don't have to watch all the movies or podcasts but know the context.
Guerty was decent online. Class was based on recorded lectures and weekly assignments with a midterm and final, in addition to a project. Lots of reading on a weekly basis but simple assignments. The final project was unnecessary as it was justified as "extra credit", but required for your grade. Easy class that can check a box if you need it.
Strong effort in making the class easy to access and uses external programs for everything. Made a strong effort to convey the feeling of an in-person class to an online format. Lots of reading, watching lecture vids, and listening to podcasts. The final project is a pain to do if you procrastinate. Recommend if you like writing objective essays.
Professor Guerty has great lectures and makes them entertaining. Exams are based straight off the notes/ lectures and from weekly homework (films and readings). If you miss class, the assignments are online and the lectures too. Don't procrastinate on the history portfolio.
Class is Lecture heavy, needing you to write class lecture exclusive information but YOU CAN USE THESE NOTES ON TESTS. *Video/ Reading question activities *Weekly discussion question and responses *One larger portfolio project covering some of the weekly readings/ videos *No presentations Professor is very easy to work with and kind and caring
Great job teaching
Professor Guerty is the best history professor that I have every had. He truly cares about students and their understanding of the material. This class is an easy A if you put in the effort. Most of the class grade is just based on participation and the other is very easy to make an A on.
Professor Guerty's HIST1112 class is very manageable. The assignments and tests are straightforward, and he provides helpful study guides. I found unstuck study a useful tool for exam prep alongside the class materials.
At the beginning of the semester he will explain he does not make attendance necessary, but it is very important that you go. All his lectures are in person and all his tests are open note. To have the notes you obviously need to go to class, but if you miss it never counts against you. Has major project at the end not too hard just time consuming.
